Abbey Place is one of Fort Wayne’s Southwest neighborhoods located right off the Aboite Trail on Illinois Road, which links this great home to miles and miles of Fort Wayne trails and to schools, shops, churches, restaurants, the library and so much more. From this home, take the sidewalk west to get on the path leading directly to Whispering Meadows Elementary School. Having the option to walk to school is a beautiful thing. This neighborhood also has some great sledding hills!

Sitting on a slight hill allows this home to overlook the back yard and lake below. With a welcoming front porch, the covered entry opens to the music room. Sitting behind double French doors, this music room could also function beautifully as a library or an intimate dining room. The great room, flooded with natural light, and enhanced by the Earth-Friendly cork floor, has cathedral ceilings and a stunning stone (gas) fireplace. The cork floor, which is warm and softer to touch than laminate, extends through to the kitchen area and enhances the wonderfully open living space between the great room and the kitchen area. The kitchen has stainless appliances and light cabinetry. The kitchen area opens to the upper deck that overlooks the pond and the grounds below and the exterior staircase provides a nice traffic flow. The main level laundry room is convenient for the master suite on this level. This master suite has a fresh, updated bathroom with a large tub and dual sinks. The powder room has a stunning heated tile floor that looks like real wood.

The open staircase off the great room leads to bedrooms 2 and 3 which share a large full bath with great ceiling angles. Both rooms are nicely sized. Downstairs, the walk out lower level is fantastic! The family area is open to an updated bar and game/eating area. The two-sided fireplace has a wonderful look with the stone on both sides, and separates the theater room from the other lower level living areas. The theater room has built-in surround sound and the ceiling mount Epson projector will stay with the home. Built-in cabinetry surrounds the screen. Sliders from this finished lower level open to the patio and a wonderful screened in porch (a highly-desired feature in Indiana homes!). The unfinished part of this lower level is currently used for a fitness area and for storage.

This home also boasts of updated recessed lighting in nearly all rooms (featuring LED lights), a new roof, and a newer furnace/water heater/AC.

Our home sale was about as painless as possible, with Matthew Schrader's help. He gave helpful and practical advice about what we could do in our time frame and the staging and photos thereof were so nice that our first three days from the time we put it on the market were packed with appointments. We sold the house in two days! Matthew always went the extra mile, from picking up my son from the house before the first scheduled viewing because I was running late, to lending us flower pots and a screen installation tool to prepare for the viewings. Two thumbs way up!
